Pura Vida Beach & Dive Resort

Clean, staff were lovely, our favourite was Joyna. She greeted us a lovely smile and gave us a fantastic welcome tour. Awesome private location on a stunning black sand beach. Breakfast is awesome.

This resort provides everything a guest needs for vocation and diving. The staff is super friendly and the environment is beautiful: bungalows, trees, lawn, and swimming pool. The fitness center and the restaurant are my favorite. The fitness center is spacious and has nearly all the equipments a professional gym offers. The restaurant offers both delicious Philippine and international cuisines at reasonable price. A review cannot be complete without mentioning the sea explorers, a PADI five star diving center located inside the resort. Many thanks to dive master Damron for his patient and professional instructions. Attending the scuba diving course at sea explorers is an unforgotten experience for me.

Pura Vida Beach Resort is located directly on a clean quiet beach. We stayed in a very nicely decorated rustic bamboo bungalow with a large well furnished front porch and it was located in a large beautifuly landscaped garden. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming and there was also unlimited free water, coffee and tea in your room. Breakfast is a nice buffet with a different local touch for each day and there is good and fast Wi-Fi reception in the whole resort area. If you walk 10 minutes along the beach there is a beautiful coral garden right next to the shore so you can enjoy unlimited snorkeling without having to rent a boat every day. Yes the restaurant prices are on the higher end but the local market and quite a few restaurants along the main road are also in walking distance.

Pura Vida is a beautiful place with an immaculate garden, two nice swimming pools, two bars and a restaurant. The staff Rain, Dario and others are very friendly and helpful.

I love everything of this resort that i stayed for more than a week. Perfect place to relax. Breakfast was good with lots of options. Fresh brewed coffee, juices and fresh fruit. Every day they have a theme of their bfast. Staff are so friendly. Rooms are well maintained and clean. Love the landscape/garden, perfect beach to swim. Its black sand but few meters from it you can do snorkeling. You will see stingray, turtles, beautiful corals and colorful fishes. Diving recommended. I did my basic diving course and friendly diving instructor. They have happy hours too and good cocktails. Sufficient variety of their menus. Good gym as i come to this place everyday.
